According to the mythology Eris (goddess of strife) wasn't invited to a wedding so she gate crashed. She left a golden apple that was labelled 'to the fairest' and there was a big fight between Aphrodite, Athena and Hera who all claimed the apple. None of the other gods wanted to choose sides so Zeus called a mortal called Paris, a Trojan, to decide. Each of the goddesses bribed him. Athena offered him wisdom and fighting skill, Hera offered control of Asia and Aphrodite offered Helen of Sparta, wife of the King of Sparta and the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris took Aphrodite's bribe even though Helen was married. Her husband was furious and invaded Troy so that he could take her back.
